At Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, the second day of fighting, the Union had between 85,000 and 95,000 troops. General Lee of the Confederacy still planned to attack with assult from the Union's left with about 15,000 men and 4,700 from the right. Although Lee seemed outbumbered, his plan was to converge these assaulting forces at the Union center, not go head-to-head with all the Union soldiers. How many troops would he have then?
You were asked about Confederate soldiers, so the Union's 85,000-95,000 troops is a decoy.
15,000 + 4,700 = 19,700

When WW1 started in 1914, the U.S. was neutral, and wanted to sell to both sides, but the Entente emplaced a blockade that made trade with the Central Powers increasinlgy difficult. Although the U.S. president protested the blockade, the British left it emplace and even stopped American ships headed for Germany. By the time the U.S. joined the war, the U.S. had made $5,300,000,000 in exports to the Entente but only $200 million to the Central Powers. The U.S. also has $2,500,000,000 in loans to the Entente and $27 million to the Central Powers. How much did the U.S. send in total to both sides, exports and loans combined?
